I'm glad my labmates are none of the above!
...I guess I might be a dry-ice-compulsive, though. Leftover dry ice from setting up a reaction turns me into a kid in a candy store :)
In my last lab, there was definitely a guy who got a glass of DI water every morning as soon as he got to work. I always thought it was a little weird, but maybe it's more common than I thought?
I 'll admit to being a dry ice fool, but I don't understand the drinking the deionized water thing. Maybe I've just been conditioned to never put anything I find in a lab in my mouth.
DI water is good for making a tasty tea - calcium and magnesium ions realy tend to spoil tea taste and cause tannins to precipitate.
As far as I can tell DI water does absolutely nothing for taste of coffee, especialy if it is the cheap robusta type flavored with burnt rubber and motoroil.
